silver..but black is nice too..will be hard for someone to choose
[One (M7) General] dobknobby:
I went for silver and love it, I held both colours before deciding, and i love the contrasting between the Silver and the black screen, also like the white detailing on the back . . .
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I started with black, but have changed my mind at least a couple dozen times since. I know I'll be extremely pleased with either so I'm still changing my mind daily. The latest photo I've seen convinced me to go back to black. When I walk into the store on Thursday I'll decide finally and place my order. Maybe I'll flip a coin, I like both of them so much.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Black or silver both are good, black requires lot more effort keeping clean. Dust is more visible between gaps too, silver has no such issue. I prefer black but that's because I don't mind cleaning it daily.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I'm only two hours away from placing my order and I still can't decide!!

Silver is awesome because it's raw metal, a block of machined aluminum with meticulous details.

Black is awesome because it's a solid jet black metal bar which shows off the screen and the notification led better.

Silver is showy and black is more conservative, with black no one would know what you have unless they looked closely. The silver would look unique from across a room. Everything I have is black and I've been wanting to get a white phone.

Black will get messy looking between cleanings (which I obsessively do frequently anyway), silver will look clean but will call attention to itself.

Both look high tech, both look awesome,

garrghh!
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I had pre ordered the Black to start off with, but then when the delays hit, i swapped to the Silver, don't regret it one bit, the Silver is a beautiful piece of equipment.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
Both silver and black owners say the same thing... they don't regret their decision and the ____ One is stunning.

Doesn't help LOL (but thanks)
[One (M7) General] fazzxx:
Same here can't make my mind up, I always buy black phones but going to go for the silver this time
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
You won't regret it, whichever colour you choose, i have always been in the Black with my phones, always thought the White versions of phones were a bit to loud and out there, but after getting the One in Silver, i'm glad i did, like you say, it stands out against others.

And i'll return the thanks you gave me.;)
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
I really like white versions, but I hate silver. Strange I guess. Anyway, I love the all black too so all black it is this time :).
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
It is done.... I ordered the silver. etched in stone now (sort of).
[One (M7) General] fazzxx:
where did you order it from?
[One (M7) General] mareen77:
I have the silver one. It looks really good but most of the time the white banding on this side makes it look white than silver. Also noticing that the white band gets dirty quickly. You won't have that in black.
[One (M7) General] HotInEER:
I ended up going with the silver one. I flipped flopped back and forth but decided to go with a different color than I normally would. Other than my blue S3 all of my prior phones were black.

I wish Best Buy would had the silver one in stock to compare, but they only had black and it was gorgeous but did attract oils from numerous fingers touching it.

If the black one would of had a red stripe like the silver one has the white strip on the back I would of went with that.
[One (M7) General] ECEXCURSION:
I want the silver but I can't tell if the white sides are a dealbreaker. I'll have to see both in person.

[One (M7) General] whmcal:
I went with silver. It had a fall, bruised corners. The chips (minor as they are) are dark. I sometimes wonder if black would have hidden them better.

But, If you have greasy skin, over time the speaker holes may become clogged with gunk. Cleaning may remove maybe 95 percent. However, whatever remains will be less visible on the silver model. In general, grease shows up more on the black. Nonetheless, I think if you have a good cover (like the double dip), you don't have to worry about stuff getting into speaker holes in black or silver, as it will be covered.

Ultimately, I would say go with whatever colour you like (because they both look great), but use good protection. Having a good case won't prevent you from being able to admire the aesthetics of your silver or black phone once in a while.

Currently using: BB Z10, HTC ONE and GALAXY NOTE 2
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
Yep a black One will definitely need a cover because of the fingerprints,but it will hide the beautiful sides of the phones (which is the only thing I prefer over the silver).

If only they made the sides stripes of the silver with dark grey or black...it would have been the perfect design,but still the silver One is a damn sexy phone
[One (M7) General] Barneyneal:
Blac or Silver?!?! Your opinion.

Hey guys, I have the Black HTC one.

The Black one looks really good sat on you deskand in your hand. However there are a disadvantages:

Firstly, the Black one picks up finger prints and sweaty palms really clearly.

It is also hard to clean, using a microfibre cloth like the ones for glasses, it is quite difficult to remove these finger prints.

Whereas, my friend has the silver one, which also looks really nice. The silver one has a better feel in the hand and has no isssues with finnger prints.

On the whole, it doesn't matter to me, as I have mine. Just trying to give you guys some more info about the different colours.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Debateable. I cleaned it with LCD cleaner it comes up sparkling.

The back front etc
[One (M7) General] Tabtoub:
Guys I need an advice

I really love both colors but I prefer the black a little bit over the silver, because I own a white HTC One X and want to change,

The problem is that I always have the hands wet, and that will definately make too much fingerprints!

The question is, are they really annoying? are they really noticeable? if it's the case, I will go with the silver one!

and don't tell me to put a cover lol, because I don't want to spoil the One design beauty..
[One (M7) General] mareen77:
They are just like the iPad mate. The fingerprint on the silver back doesnt show due to it being white but the black shows it like oily spots, that is all.
[One (M7) General] MSGaldenzi:
Voted and ordered black... Anyone know when they will be available? With HTC having all the manufacturing issues, I am worried that it could be as late as a month later...

[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Defo silver! Dammm that one looks sexy <3 the black just looks to plain and defo catches finger prints and smudges way too easy.

[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
If only the 2 lines at the back were really shiny black like on the marketing pic I would have take the black but in reality it's damn ugly in plain grey,so I am getting the silver.

Can't decide! :confused:
[One (M7) General] K7Cobb:
Black but when it gets out there like that I wanna have half black and half white
[One (M7) General] crea78:
Both colors look good in the pictures, but will have to see each in person before I decide. Leaning more towards the silver right now.
[One (M7) General] joshoon:
Still a hard decision for me.

Although I've always had a black device, and it's time for something else.

The silver HTC One looks amazing, and the color fits nice with my white Beats headphones :)

So I'm already quite sure that I will go for the silver one :)
[One (M7) General] dragzer223:
I've always had black or blue phones but I would have to see in person before I can really decided.

I'm kind of going the silver route though

We still got some weeks guys! haha.

How can you compare it with previous ''black'' HTC phones?

[One (M7) General] dirtyhamster73:
I don't even think the front of the black looks aluminum, just looks blah to me, IMO.... nobody kill me :D It doesn't look as premium.

And in some pics it looks like the black has faded.
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
I totally agree to be honest.

With all other phones I've always preferred to have a black model instead of the white model, because generally they look better. But with the One, the black just looks cheap and tacky. Definitely not how a premium build phone should be looking.

Damn! I got the silver one but that got taken by wife so I am left with my s3. Black is sooooooooooo sexy I am actually thinking getting my 2nd One in black:) of course, have to expense it myself not letting wife know...

Only concern is the figure prints on the black, is it easily wiped away? So far we haven't seen any unexpected chipping on black right?
[One (M7) General] @home:
I have 2 black one's & the clean up as good as new. I think people are fretting too much about smudges on the black, give it a wipe & it's as new again.
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Frankly, I did not think black would look nice. I have silver dev edition pre-ordered. But I just saw the black today here at local shop. Taiwan import and my god it is gorgeous. It has that same matt finish everywhere and slightly shiny on the edges. Looks stunning to be honest. But almost impossible to take good pictures of it with anything other than DSLR. It is really the deep black colour. Its iPhone 5 effect all over again where white looked great on screen and black looked more stunning in person.

Dont really care at this stage to be honest. I would not give up on dev edition for colour.
[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
Can anyone comment on whether or not the white on the Silver version has a tendency to "yellow" easily from getting dirty? That's the only thing I'm concerned about...

[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Where did you order from?
[One (M7) General] pwr2wh8:
silver

all my past phones have been black and it was time for something different. i also prefer to appreciate the metal in a more raw form.
[One (M7) General] mettleh3d:
Did not pre order, wanna order in store and I'm so torn on the color. I've had only black phones myself.
[One (M7) General] ataft:
Just came back from the store, where I spent some time trying to decide between silver or black. They didn't have any actual handsets in, just the mockup. I spent about 10 minutes trying to decide between the two. Before I saw the phone, I was going with silver. After those ten minutes, I decided to go with the black. I prefer the back of the silver phone, but liked the front of the black better. I was surprised as the silver front looks better than the black in pictures. With a case on the phone, the back doesn't really matter... so black was the one to get.

I don't think you can go wrong with either colour, as they both look great. If you have the opportunity, however, definitely make a trip to the store to go hands on before ordering.
[One (M7) General] Sodalitas:
Echoing this. The vast majority of my devices are black/dark gray, and for the first time in a long time, I actually chose the Silver over the Black. I tend to have oily fingers (I curse this every day), and the Black would just make me think I have even greasier fingers than I imagined. ;) The Silver hides fingerprints surprisingly well, and I can't recommend the Silver enough if you're planning to use the phone naked (which, y'know, helloooooo aluminium!)
[One (M7) General] starxgamingx:
Id say silver due to black atracting more fingerprints and the fact if you scratch it silver will show up under the back while it will look better on the silver device
[One (M7) General] wyd4:

[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
I've only ever had black phones as well. However, I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on the Silver. I agree with most everyone else, the silver accents the design features of the phone so much nicer than the black. As well as not blending in with the run-of-the-mill black slab phones.

I also think HTC really nailed the white with the silver. I have always been a diehard Apple fanboy but I think Apple always failed to create a white option that remained as elegant as the black options. Just my two cents though. :)
[One (M7) General] Element515:
I tried fake demo models at the store yesterday and I like the silver better. The back of the black seems too plain. They should have used red plastic stripes
[One (M7) General] sfen:

[One (M7) General] adwienc:
I'll buy silver version. Black one gets dirty too fast, I mean those fingerprints :)
[One (M7) General] Marcismo55:
I wanted black but silver was available and is kind of growing on me so I picked one up.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Well, I originally thought the same thing until I got my black One, unlike dummy phone on the wall, it is nowhere near "plastic" phone! It's a solid, heavy, metal brick! You know a brilliant looking brick.

Funny enough, I went to a store to try the silver demo phone today, that actually feels cheaper to me maybe the colour is too shiny and feels lighter.

But, both colours are equally great, I even had a flash in my mind of exchanging my black one to a silver one, but in the end I still decide to keep my black brick. :)
[One (M7) General] MyFarewell:
Cant choose cos:

What about the build quality between black and silver?

And how about the screen type?

Anything else different?
[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
Build quality and screen types are the same. The only difference is the color of the aluminum (raw vs black) and the plastic along the sides.

Go to a store and play with each model and decide for yourself.

Personally, I was dead set on black. However, when I saw Silver in person, I was sold. Haven't looked back, I'm glad I got the Silver.

I have the silver one and it's just a beautiful piece of tech.

Black or Silver

I first saw the black and fell in love with it, but once I saw the silver, I liked the contrast against the black screen. The black does attract more fingerprints and dust than the silver, so that also pushed me towards the silver. I was also scared that the black would scratch.
